Moxie Fab Plum Crazy

The latest challenge over at the Moxie Fab World Blog is to create a project that captures the essence of the color plum in its design. So here is what I came up with... The focus of the card is this handmade purple/plum flower. I decided to enhance the color by combining it with a triadic color scheme (three colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel).
To create this flower I used three different sized circles punches, punched four circle from each punch and crumpled to distress. Adhered same sized circles together to form the layers then adhere the layers together to form the flower. Embellish with a stitched button in the center and attach hand cut and distressed leaves.

Thanks for visiting and hope you have a wonderful day!
